Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

"It's so bizarre."

Rebecca White's eyes, wide and filled with innocence, suddenly brimmed with tears that silently rolled down her cheeks. "How could James possibly be my child? I've never had a child... Never."

"My head is killing me!"

She winced, shaking her head in pain as her complexion turned even paler. "Why does it hurt so much?"

"I'll be right up."

"Okay, I'll wait."
